NASA-Ames is right next door to SGI, and we have a ton
of SGI products.  We were visited recently by a
marketing/technical-liaison sort of person recently.

He spent the day asking us questions about the sort of
visualization we do here, and what sort of software we
would like to see from SGI.

I personally found it disconcerting that they were
asking such questions so far into the project.
